So I was recently enjoyed watching some Cocovid Costubing videos on YouTube and came across a wonderful little sewing accessory. The Hussif or Housewife. I had to make one. Then I thought about how handy they will be and there may be a series of them, maybe not all hand-sewn but definitely made. These are an 18th century device and I play in the SCA which is very much pre-seventeenth century but that isn't going to stop me from making such a wonderfully useful device.
I went through all the scraps from my recent fabric shopping for mask making. I have many more masks to make but I needed a mental break. So I hand-sewed this fabulous little accessory. Now to fill it. I may have to make one for my veil pins and jewelry too!
You can get the pattern here: 18th Century Housewife Pattern Digital pattern

Edit: It would seem I wasn't clear what a Hussif/Housewife is above. These are filled with sewing notions or really any notion you want to carry and secure. It can be a jewelry roll, a wallet, a sewing kit, the options are endless.
